The spectators of the Caterpillar Burnie International women’s singles final on Saturday witnessed the birth of a future star of tennis in 15-year-old Ukrainian Marta Kostyuk. Kostyuk overcame the tournament’s top seed, Switzerland’s Viktorija Golubic in a straight set 6-4, 6-3 victory to claim her second professional title.

Golubic steadied through the late stages of the next two games, breaking Kostyuk to take the score to 5-4, but could not maintain her control and was broken again to lose the set. The second set continued the pattern of the back end of the first set with Kostyuk jumping out to a 2-0 lead, before each player broke their opponent’s serve twice.
